OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Colder and clear or clearing wealher today.Governor Hayfs addressed enthusiastic Republican meetings, with Governor Hartranft, in Lancaster county, Pa., Saturday and Monday evenings. GovEHNOit Hendricks spoke in Philadelphia last Friday night. He has got back on the fence again. Led away by the young enthusiasm of Old Bill Allen, Hendricks cautiously dropped one leg on the inflation side of the fence, just before Ohio bounced the Bag Baby. It was the worst time that Hendricks could have chosen since the war. The leg that was put down on the inflation side is disabled for life. Hendricks would rather have bad that leg cut of! than to have spoken in Philadelphia. He protested as vehemently as the injured Biler against a cove being caught up in that way, while a cove was just around enjoying hisself looking at the Centennial Buildings. But there was such a poverty of both brains and money on the Democratic side that they would n't let him off. He had to say something, whether it meant anything or not. So he sat on the top rail of the fence swinging that leg a little. He did not put it clear down. He only reached down with it to kick against " forced resumption in 1870," and to kick out in the empty air against " contraction "which wasn't there or anywhere else. Then the band went down td the Girard House, accompanied by not to exceed a hundred people all told, and serenaded, him, and poor Hendricks had to come out and say something to them. He waited about five minutes for a "once more united and hsppy Democratio party" a thing as impossible as a united and happy pair of tomcats hung by the tails over a clothes line. Then the band appropriately play' ed Avid Lang Syne as a dirge for the "once united and happy," and Coming Through the Eye as an invocation for the Governor not to cry. Don't for a moment think this is a joke it is ail as true as the Horth Star. Theodore Thomas has selected sixty men and converted them into one of the most perfect and enravishing musical instruments in the world. There is nothing else like it in America, and perhaps nothing superior to it anywhere. It is one great, living, human organ of melody, constructed with perfect nicety of adjust' ment, and not, like the dead machine, dumb and insentient of itself, but posses' ed of real perceptions and animated with a real soul. It must have required great judgment of character to choose so well and fit so perfectly the parts of this grand instrument. Looking at its different members, that is at the men composing it, one might take them for merchants, lawyers or mechanics almost as readily as inter prefers of the divine harmonics of Beethoven, or the stormy, savage sweep of Wagner's majestic rhapsodies. There is nothing sentimental about them, no effeminate softness of manner or appearance. Most of them, like Thomas himself, who is the picture of rugged manhood, are men of fine physical development, with plenty of brawn as well as ' brain, having all the delicacy of art with- oat the artificial sensitiveness apt to be associated with it. Kever until the American public heard this orchestra, or rather thii orchestral instrnnient, did it begin to understand the ma tic of the gnat masters. Heretofore it has been to the general ear a melodioue jumble of "brilliant nonsense," but now it la, to every one who listens, the grand interpretation of that wordiest languige which only the great mailere bar mattered, and which wat rejected and condemned because garbled and misunderstood. Thomas lets us know as we never knew before what the mailers meant to say to us, and shows us that what we hive justly despised ai so-called classic muuc wat only a wretched travesty of their heaven-born inspirations, The pieces on last evening's programme were a little more abetrun, musically speaking, than usual, but the perform' ancewas nevertheless a feast of delicate and magnificent harmony that everybody could enjoy. It was that delicacy Keats speakt'of in hit pearl of poems, the Eve of St. Agnes, which "flattered to tears" an "aged man and poor," and that magnificence which he represents at "music groaning like a god in pain." Listening to such concord of sweet sounds it it not difficult to believe, of a truth, that of such will be the language of Paradise. Beply to Mr. JscAllster. The communication of M. McAlister favoring a division of the school fund, printed in yesterday's State Journal, though apparently intended as a candid argument, is an artful attempt to cover up the real question with a cloud of misstatements and sophistries. The writer sets out by saying that a very large proportion of children "cannot conscientiously avail themselves of the (school) system as it is now managed," whereas the fact is that so far as the children are concerned very few of them, if any, have conscientious scruples on the subject. On the other hand there is a constant tendency and desire on the part of Catholic children to avail themselves of the benefits of the common school system, Insomuch as to require the most diligent efforts and vigilance of the priests to prevent them from so doing. Cases have come under our own ob servatiou where the priests have felt constrained to threaten ail the anathemas of the Church in order to prevent children of Catholic parents from attending the public schools, and even then have barely succeeded. The obstacle to attendance in ninetynine cases out of a hundred, is not one of conscience on the part of the children, but of sectarian pride or preju dice on the part of parentB and priests. Let the children take their own course and most of them will seek the public schools in preference to those of the Church, by a sort of natural affinity. The presence of hundreds of Catholic children in these schools in spite of all efforts to prevent it illustrates this fact, and it is farther illustrated by the excessive zeal of the Catholic priesthood to remove, if possible, by destroying the sys tem the standing temptation it offers to the young to seek an education unwarned by sectarian bias. The gentleman to whom we are reply ing next represents that " almost all the children who cannot attend these (common) schools on account of religions con victions are the children of the laboring classes who can ill afford to pay a (school) tax at all, but to whom it is oppression in its worst form to pay tax to build and furnish cosily school buildings wherein the children of the rich are taught Latin, Greek, French, German and music grat- Now if there is any tax which the poor notoriously do not pay it it the school tax. If there is any tax which above any and all others is laid upon the rich for the benefit of the poor, it is that tax. If there Ib any system which above all others the rich are compelled to maintain, nolens nolens, for the advantage of the poor, it is the common school system. Yea, we will go farther and say that neither the Catholic Church or any other Church can devise or maintain a system of education, the burden of supporting which will bear more lightly upon the poor than this very system which our friend denounces. No education is offered to the poor from sectarian or any other sources which costs them less than that furnished by these people's colleges. The idea that the laboring classes are compelled to build costly school houses in which to educate rich men's children in fancy branches, is sheer humbuggery and nonsense. Kor are there any schools in which those branches are more extensively taught than the Catholic schools. It would surprise our friend, and per haps some others, could he know exactly how much, or rather how little, is really paid by the "laboring classes" for tbe support of the school system, The truth that the amount is insignificant, as any well informed person knows. Indeed the whole amount of State tax paid by the " laboring classes " for any and all purposes amounts to nothing. The bur den of supporting the State government, school system included, falls upon men who have real estate, who are " well on, and not upon the poor at all. Besides, does not our friend know that every year the wealthy counties of Ohio pay vastly more school tax than is necessary for the main' tenance of their own schools, and that this surplus is applied to the support of schools in the less opulent counties ? If be does not know this, then let him procure a copy, any one will do, of the Auditor of Slate's report, and inform himself. "If you grant us the privilege of using our own taxes," observes our friend, "you (advocates of the common schools) say all the little sects will claim the same, and the public schools will be broken up." Not exactly that. The question is not whether the Catholics shall "use their own taxes," but whether they shall bear their proportionate share of a tax for tbe common benefit. We say if they shall be exempted from a tax of that kind other sects will claim exemption, and justly claim it, for if the State may not rightfully for the not lay lay a burden upon general welfare it may it upon any. It it principle we are contending about, and not money. Once let go of the doctrine, as the Catholics demand wa shall, that all citiiens, of whatever sect, shall son. tribute their proportionate share toward the general enlightenment, and tbe common school system falls. Now shall the Catholics contribute their share for this purpose or not? That it the ques tion. It toundt plausible to say the Catholics shall "use their own teres," but the taxes are not their own, What owner ship have they In the levy for schools any more than they have in the levy for bridges, for court houses, for Infirmaries, or any other levy they may pay f "Our own taxes," indeed I Nonsense I The public money belongs to the public, and not to Catholics, Methodists or Presbyterians. As well demand that you shall use "your own taxes" to build your own highways, your own bridges, your own court houses, your own prisons, or your own infirmaries, as to support your own schools. It is the right and privilege of the State to use the taxes, and not of the churches. Our friend makes much ado about Catholics being taxed against their con sent. Has he never heard of Protestants who had to pay taxes they did not want to pay? If not, his auricular organs must be as bad as the old lady's described in Hood's Tale of a Trumpet. Somebody has said this is the only country in the world where poor people can assemble in town meeting and declare a tax upon the rich. It is one of the grand fea- tures of republican government that can be taxed against their people will, ation. though not without represent-Our friend calls this robbery and other hard names, but we have beard the like before. The man who wrote "skule tacks no" upon his ballot, thought it robbery. There are people who call it robbery to be compelled to pay anything at all for the support of government, schools, or anything else, but they generally live in the back townships. Our friend pathetically puts the care this way : "Suppose we ran the schools and forced you to support them against your will." Well, suppose you did, we guess we should have to stand it, and if you "ran the schools" as efficiently as we do, or more so, we ought to Btand it. Our friend abandons his subject to complain that "many of you" say the Catholics don't make good citiiens, and perhaps there are people of that kind, just as there are some who think the Pope wears horns, and that the moon is made of green cheese. There is ignorance and bigotry among all classes, but that has nothing to do with the subject we are considering. Another complaint of our friend, equally foreign to the argu ment, is, that some advocates of the common schools are intolerant of Catholic opinions or complaints. Some are, perhaps, but their very intolerance destroys the moral effect of their own convictions, and weakens rather than strengthens the cause of the schools, which must stand or fall by the strength ef the argument in their favor, and not by the bitterness of anybody's prejudices or the incorrigibieness of anybody's bigotry. We agree heartily with our friend as to the importance of moral training, but the home circle and the churoh will suffice for that. Nobody ever saw an infidel or a rogue, made such by his common school training. loan's l.adr Lawyer. The Dubuque Herald of the 21st says : Mrs. J. Elen Foster was admitted to the practice of law in the Supreme Court of Iowa yesterday the first honor of the kind accorded to a lady in the State. Mrs. Foster, we believe, acquired her legal education in the office of her husband, who is aUo a member of the Clinton (Iowa) bar, and both are partners in the firm of Foster & Bice, of that city. 1 lie lady's debut upon the legal stage was a creditable one, she appearing as counsel for the defendant in tbe care of Jacob Oswald r. Waller I, Hays. It was tbe opinion of the judges and attorneys in court yesterday that the Judge's case would be well taken care of. Certainly the gentle attorney presented her argu ment in a clear, concise and able manner, showing herself mistress of the situation in all its legal bearings, and making a very favorable impression in the court room. Sbe is quite prepossessing in ap pearance, both in feature, form, and dress, The lair lawyer wore a rich black: Bilk, without ornamentation or furbelows, overskirt or anything else on the demi train, which was gracefully caught up en panier, and thus the dreary plainness was relieved. A plain oiacksiik bat, enliven ed with some bright flowers, a velvet sacque. with a trimming of guipure lace, and a pink Bilk neck-tie completed the lady's costume. Her manner upon the platform was dignihed, easy, and ladylike, and so far as all we have mentioned, the effects were rattier pleasing, and the Dubuque bar is disposed to take quite kindly to lawyers ot the lemale persuv Bion. A Lolly Nlg-nnl. Fan Francisco Bulletin. The erection of a signal on the summit of Mount ehasta by the officers of the Coast Survey, has been successfully ac complished. Altitnde of the signal which is a hollow cylinder of galvanized iron, twelve feet high and two and a half feet in diameter, surrounded by a cone of nickel plated copper, with concave sides, three feet high and three feet in diameter at the base is, according to the observations taken by the members of the CoaBt Survey, 14,402 feet forty feet less than the altitude given by the State Geological Survey. The nickel-plating of the Bicnal is a brilliant reflector, and will, from 6 to 9 a. m., and from 8 to 7 p. m., reflect the sunlight in such a manner that tbe reflec tion can be seen from the valleys and the mountains from which the summit of the mountain is visible. It is believed that it can be used for observations at a distance of one hundred miles, and possibly further.

McUeaghan, it seems, wrote Father McNamara asking him to slriks his ntme off the roll, his father confessor having told him he must no longer oe a member. In reply Father McNamara told him neither Priest nor fope nor Bishop, nor even God himself. could make a man a traitor. He reprimanded McGeaghan for having betrayed tbe secrets of the organiiation, and cited him to appear before a tribunal of United Irishmen Kedivivi. McGeaghan paid no attention to the summons, but was found guilty. The Order of Bedivivi expects each Irish family in the United States to contribute twentyfive cents a month for its support.' Father McNamara does not nuw uuiciaie in uauiouc churches. BUSINESS DERANGEMENT. New York Nuspen&lons and Fall. ures. New York. Oct. 26. The Board of Managers of tbe Produoe Kxchance have adopted a resolution that the conduct of Archibald iiaxter at Co., as developed in their failure and in circumstances antecedent thereto, is not such as is consistent with just and equitable princmles of trade, and therefore is deserving of severe censure.

Episcopal Missionary Monrd. New York, Oct. 26. The Board of Mission, of the Protestant Episcopal Church continues its session to-day. Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, presiding. After morning prayer, at which BiBhoD Talbot, of Indiana, assisted, the report of million Williams, ot Japan, was read. The report states that although the statistics do not show any great increase in numbers, still the field is far mora en couraging than ever before. There is a growing interest in the subject of religion, and the minds of the reading portion of the community aro Ircquently turned to the subject by articles for and against Christianity in the daily newspapers. the report ot the Missionary Jiishop ol Northern California showed that there was great need of faithful missionaries in that region. A great drawback to satisfactory work is tbe nomadic character of the people. The General Agent and Secretary of the Board was granted a six months' leave of absence. Corner In Lard. New York, Oct. 26. A notable fea ture of trade on the lower floor of the Produce Exchange to-day was the corner in lard directed against October shorts, which was brought about in an attempt of the bears to cover to-day. The market for October contracts opened at 14 1-1 Go., and rapidly ran up to 14c, which, in the lard trade, is a very marked advance. Considerable sales were made. The fight between the opposite factions is, for the most part, confined to New York, and prices advanced to-day, while in Chicago they were depressed. To show how the shorts are being squeezed in this market, it may be stated that November contracts were offered on 'change to-day at 133c. or 1 Jc. under October, while only 13Jo. was bid. Again, sellers' options for the year were only a shade under 12c, though the seller wonld be very caretul not to deliver this money. Weather ProlmliiltMns. Washington, Oct. 271 a. m.

Great Conflagration at Tlr-, ginia Ciiv, Nevada. Most of the Business Fart of the Town in Asnos. Tea Thousand People Ilomelca. Hade Vart Destruction of Mining Machinery and Buildings. Paalo In the Sai Francises Market Stock Sah Francisco,' Oct. 26. Owing to the destruction of the telegraph office and a press of private dispatches over the lines, it hat been difficult to obtain any connected information concerning tbe Virginia fire. The following, however, is undoubtedly correct at far at it goes: The fire broke out about davliihtina uweuingon a street near layiur, a point about tbe southwest limit of the business andxbe thickly settled portion of the city. It spread rapidly, extending eastward toward a ravine in which are situ ated the works and mills of several prominent mines, reaching aa far aa F street north. The flames crossed Union and Sutton streets, covering a space of ten blocks, comprising, in the words of one dispatch, almost every decent building in town. At the lire worked up C street, the office of the Territorial Enterprise and Chronicle was destroyed. Piper's Opera House was next in flames, and it became evident that the railroad depot and hoisting works of the Consoli dated Virgiuia were in danger. Ibe water supply was inadequate, and the engines of little use. Recourse was had to blowing up houses. It wat too late, however, and in a few minutes the depot and hnistiug works were on fire. 1 lie latter were recently completed atan expense of several hundred thousand dollars, and were the finest on the Corn-stock lode. Continuing north and east tho part ly completed mill of the California mine and Consolidated Virginia were toon fUmea, which Bpread still further north to the Ophir Hoisting works, destroying them also, which is about tbe limit of destruction in that direction. The fire died for want of fuel. From Taylor Blreet, near which the fire began, it spread south against the wind, destroying the Branch Bank of California and the Wells & Fargo express oflice.and eve rything else in its line. At this point the Gould & Curry works were in imminent danger, but were saved. 1 n short nearly the entire business portion of the town is in ashes. Hotels, churches, county build-ings, and newspaper, telegraph and ex press offices are all swept away, the wind is piercing and much suffering is anticipated before Bheltercan be prepared, It is impossible at present to conjecture the amouut of loss. The destruction of mills and hoisting works above referred to will probably entail a lossof $1,000,000 within a radius of a few hundred feet. Fortunately the shafts of both the Ophir and Consolidated Virginia were bulk-headed, and the fire was kept out of the mines. Ophir men Bay possibly their loss may be less than supposed, as tbe building was a light frame and might burn without destroying the machinery. The loss of buildings and merchandise in the city must be great, although covered to a great extent by insurance. It is not known lowhatexlent the mills and hoisting works were insured, except in the Ophir, where the Iobs is placed at $150,-000 to $200,000; insured for $60,00. In this city the news created the great est excitement, owing to tbe contradictory nature of private dispatches received. California street was full of wild rumors, and tbe telegraph and newspaper omces were besieged with people anxiously Becking intelligence. As might have been ex pected, stockB at once fell as the eflect of. ttie disaster, and when the Board opened by a call of Ophir, there was a tremendous rush, tiie stock selling as low as 38i. Consolidated Virginia dropped to 210, but rallied. The talk on the street is very gloomy. At first it was supposed tbe disaster would entail the necessary stoppage of all work in the Bonanza nneH, and that the recently reported breaking of water would flood the mines and a general panic and depression ensue. This, however, soon gave way to a better feeling as soon as it was ascertained that the Gould & Curry works were all right, as were the Savage. This was considered the key to the position us far as the Block market was concerned, as the Bonanza can and will be worked through the Gould & Curry shaft, while the works of the Virginia are being rebuilt, and the Savage and boulu 61 Curry pumps are available to free the mines from water. It also transpired that the new hoisting works ot the Consolidated Virginia and California mine, known as the C. & C. works, were unharmed. Inquiry also brought out the fact that the insurance compauies, though many of them sutler heavily, will come up man fully, paying all demands. A large portion of -the insurance is with foreign companies well able to bear it, and local companies also claim that none will go to the wall. It was given out by those known to be in Bide that the Consolidated Virginia would pay a dividend as usual, though probably at reduced figures. Ail these considerations soon hau the effect to turn the tide, and now the general impression is that while the conflagration is unquestionably a serious disaster, its effects on the interests of California will be but limited and temporary. tin the street, alter the ore, stocks rallied and the feeling in business circles im proved.

Signor Bertolotto, a venerable Italian, upward ol sixty, in connection with the flea, has established a European reputation. Yesterday he had his meuagerie at 39 Union Square, nnd invited a select audience to witness his performance. which to-day is thrown open to the public. The exhibiter is a genial old man, with a voice modified by long intercourse with his minute friends; his hand, though large, possesses an exquisite delicacy of louch, ana be bends over and fondles his singular pets as though be felt a real af fection fur them. In 1832 he began tho training ol Item in hitigland. and amass ing a considerable fortune, retired from professional life. Recently times have gone hard with turn, and again bo summons tbe fleas to his rescue. The Pro- fesaor'e present troupe consists of 100 female fleas, (male fleas are dis carded as utterly inlraclable,) which were brought from Canada, the Professor making the delightful announcement that fleas are extremely scarce in the United slates. I he performance yester day opened with a passage-at-arms be tween Don uuixote and sancho ranza, two bloodthirsty fleas, that mounted on tiny paper horses attacked each other with spears. The tiny paper horses being stationary, no great damage was dje to either of the contestants, but the tieas really appeared actuated by deadly hatred and whirled the little spears about in a furious manner. Next an illustration of the immense strength of the creatures was given in tho performance of a herculean uen, who, being narnesso'l In a little gilt chnriot, weighing just 1200 times his own weight, drew the same about the table. The little creature shambled around with the chariot, and one of its fellows Bat on the box, as dignified a driver as ever cracked a whip, A wild nea was next produced, one that had never received any educational advantages. Its habit was still that of the creature who lives only to hop and bite, and a chain and ball attached lo the hind leg told of its unfitness to associate unrestrained with its civilized brothers. The chain and ball were of gold, the former being just one inch in length and containing four hundred links. On the same microscopic plan alt the paraphernalia used was constructed, little hats and coats fitting with remarkable nicely. Other of these remarkable insects were made to turn cranks and hoist buckets, but the che cVauvre of the entertainment was some two dozen fleas at a ball. At one end of the ball room was a complete orchestra, each flea holding its peculiar GOOD BARGAINS IN FURNITURE Til AO Hi 2 Ami- T.u,ir .....-Z, W TnaKch1..'1 wm iuRi?E SrT0CK instrument in readiness for the dance. On the floor two couples were teen, and on a tiny sofa another was engaged, at least to said lbs Professor, in a very desperate flirtation. A music box was then set in motion, snd at the first sound the little insects began their respective vocations, those on the floor whirling about in ths dance and those in the orchestra working their legs, to which were attached the instruments, in a most enthusiastic manner. When the size of ths flea is remembered the task of handling tbem at all will be appreciated.

Of the 800 fleas in this collection about half are performers and have to be taken from their harness in threads once a day lo be fed. Their fodder is nothing less than the blood of the professor, who permits the whole flock to browse on his left arm every morning. The Excess of Women In Massachusetts.The fact that there are more women than men in the State of Massachusetts is well enough known, but, in the opinion of the Boston Daily Advertiser, the usual explanations of the disparity are not the true ones. J t says that the excess of wo men is not to oe accounted for either by the emigration of men from the Stale or by the alleged fact tbat Massachusetts furnishes an exception to the general rule in tbe matter of male and female births. The rule is tbat there are more men children than women children born into the world, and it has been supposed that in Massachusetts this rule is reversed by some occult law or undiscovered circum stance. This, the Advertiser believes, is mistake, and it sees in the eiiwaa of women a result of the large amount of manufacturing done in the State. The emigration of men to the Middle and Western states has its influence upon the ratio of males to fe males, but this one cause of disparity is nut Buuicieni to account lor me actual state of the case. The Advertiser finds a more active influence in the amount of light work for women which the factories constantly afford, and says that the excess of women is due chiefly to tbe incoming of working girls from other Stales, and particularly from Maine and Vermont. This view is strengthened by the fact that Maine, which has Buffered far more se verely than has Massachusetts from the emigration of its men, has only 709 more women than men ; while in Vermont the males outnumber the females by 8S9. Tbe theory is further BUBtained by a comparison of the statistics of factory towns with those of fartningcommunities a compar ison winch shows that the disparity between the numbers of the two sexes is considerably grcoter in the cities and towns devoted chiefly to mnnufsctur- ing industries than anywhere else, and no tably in Lowell, which has 549 females lo every 441 males. IJ nluckuy for the new theory, however. the census Bhows an excess of women, not only in the State at large, but also in every county, which, in view of the fact that the excess In manufacturing towns must be largely made up of native women, drawn from the State's own farming communities, seems to show that the State does, after all, constitute an exception to ttie general rule. 1 lie larming communities lose men to the West, but they loBe women also to the manufacturing towns. and yet there remains in every county a numerical excess ot women. Larue Cattle Kanrhe. Captain E. S. Lenfestev. of Marion. In- uiana, is traveling lor the benefit of bis health in Colorado and New Mexico. In one of his letters to the Chronicle, of Marion, he gives some facts in regard to cat-lie raising and ita attendant incidents in rsew Mexico, as follows: To the southeast of Santa Fe. near Fort Stanton, ia the famous Chisholm cattle ranche, containing about sixteen hundred sections of land, on which Mr. ChiBholm has at this time eighty thousand head of cattle, lie claims that he can nil order for lorty thousand beeves, sent him dv telegraph irom JNew lork, on ten days' notice. Be that as it may, he is the uw a.ing ol Mexico, to use a provin cial phrase. He em ploys in all about one hundred "cow boys" and "cow punchers" and, in other words, he employs mounted men to picket his ranche dav and night, winter and summer, to Bee mac the cattle do not stray oil the pasture selected by him for his own use. And, like a sentinel wulking his beat, the cattle guards ride up and down tbe lines, and are relieved with due regularity. In the fall, about this time, they have the "cattle drives," which means taking these vast herds from the distant ranches to market. They find a shipping point now at Wichita, or Great Bend, in Kansas, or at Granada or Las Animas, in Colorado. And whenever it is known at which point tho important "drives" will strike, there is where the vultures are found. The cattle men are rough, generous, and often intemperate, and the gamblers and prostitutes of tbe entire land look forward to fall trade with great anticipations. Very often the officers of the law are set at defiance, tbe cattle men and licentious women run the town, and the entire proceeds of ten thousand beeves squandered in a single night. How to Make Coiree. Cnftee should be browned at least twice a week, and kept in air-tight canisters, and only ground just immediately before using. Pick the green coffee carefully over; shake it in a colander to free it from dust, and rub it in a cloth. While roasting stir it constantly; the moment the berry crackles and becomes crisp enough to pulverize, it is sufficiently roasted. Stir in a small piece of butter the size of a walnut, and put the coffee steaming hot into an air-tight canister. For making, put your ground coffee into a bowl with just sufficient cold water to moisten il; beat in an egg, shell and all; mix it well through the coffee. Rinse your coffee boiler out with boiling water; put in (be coffee, and pour over, it the required amount of boiling water. Let it boil fifteen minutes. When it bruins to boil stir it frequently and never leave it until the grounds sink. Tour a little Irom the spout, in order to remove the grounds that may have boiled into it. and pour it back into the pot. It is very much better if served without decanting it. Allow one tableepoonful of ground conee for each person snd one for the pot, and add three pints ol boning water to Beven spoon' fule of coffee. I'nshniere Shawls.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Colder and clear or clearing wealher today.Governor Hayfs addressed enthusiastic Republican meetings, with Governor Hartranft, in Lancaster county, Pa., Saturday and Monday evenings. GovEHNOit Hendricks spoke in Philadelphia last Friday night. He has got back on the fence again. Led away by the young enthusiasm of Old Bill Allen, Hendricks cautiously dropped one leg on the inflation side of the fence, just before Ohio bounced the Bag Baby. It was the worst time that Hendricks could have chosen since the war. The leg that was put down on the inflation side is disabled for life. Hendricks would rather have bad that leg cut of! than to have spoken in Philadelphia. He protested as vehemently as the injured Biler against a cove being caught up in that way, while a cove was just around enjoying hisself looking at the Centennial Buildings. But there was such a poverty of both brains and money on the Democratic side that they would n't let him off. He had to say something, whether it meant anything or not. So he sat on the top rail of the fence swinging that leg a little. He did not put it clear down. He only reached down with it to kick against " forced resumption in 1870," and to kick out in the empty air against " contraction "which wasn't there or anywhere else. Then the band went down td the Girard House, accompanied by not to exceed a hundred people all told, and serenaded, him, and poor Hendricks had to come out and say something to them. He waited about five minutes for a "once more united and hsppy Democratio party" a thing as impossible as a united and happy pair of tomcats hung by the tails over a clothes line. Then the band appropriately play' ed Avid Lang Syne as a dirge for the "once united and happy," and Coming Through the Eye as an invocation for the Governor not to cry. Don't for a moment think this is a joke it is ail as true as the Horth Star. Theodore Thomas has selected sixty men and converted them into one of the most perfect and enravishing musical instruments in the world. There is nothing else like it in America, and perhaps nothing superior to it anywhere. It is one great, living, human organ of melody, constructed with perfect nicety of adjust' ment, and not, like the dead machine, dumb and insentient of itself, but posses' ed of real perceptions and animated with a real soul. It must have required great judgment of character to choose so well and fit so perfectly the parts of this grand instrument. Looking at its different members, that is at the men composing it, one might take them for merchants, lawyers or mechanics almost as readily as inter prefers of the divine harmonics of Beethoven, or the stormy, savage sweep of Wagner's majestic rhapsodies. There is nothing sentimental about them, no effeminate softness of manner or appearance. Most of them, like Thomas himself, who is the picture of rugged manhood, are men of fine physical development, with plenty of brawn as well as ' brain, having all the delicacy of art with- oat the artificial sensitiveness apt to be associated with it. Kever until the American public heard this orchestra, or rather thii orchestral instrnnient, did it begin to understand the ma tic of the gnat masters. Heretofore it has been to the general ear a melodioue jumble of "brilliant nonsense," but now it la, to every one who listens, the grand interpretation of that wordiest languige which only the great mailere bar mattered, and which wat rejected and condemned because garbled and misunderstood. Thomas lets us know as we never knew before what the mailers meant to say to us, and shows us that what we hive justly despised ai so-called classic muuc wat only a wretched travesty of their heaven-born inspirations, The pieces on last evening's programme were a little more abetrun, musically speaking, than usual, but the perform' ancewas nevertheless a feast of delicate and magnificent harmony that everybody could enjoy. It was that delicacy Keats speakt'of in hit pearl of poems, the Eve of St. Agnes, which "flattered to tears" an "aged man and poor," and that magnificence which he represents at "music groaning like a god in pain." Listening to such concord of sweet sounds it it not difficult to believe, of a truth, that of such will be the language of Paradise. Beply to Mr. JscAllster. The communication of M. McAlister favoring a division of the school fund, printed in yesterday's State Journal, though apparently intended as a candid argument, is an artful attempt to cover up the real question with a cloud of misstatements and sophistries. The writer sets out by saying that a very large proportion of children "cannot conscientiously avail themselves of the (school) system as it is now managed," whereas the fact is that so far as the children are concerned very few of them, if any, have conscientious scruples on the subject. On the other hand there is a constant tendency and desire on the part of Catholic children to avail themselves of the benefits of the common school system, Insomuch as to require the most diligent efforts and vigilance of the priests to prevent them from so doing. Cases have come under our own ob servatiou where the priests have felt constrained to threaten ail the anathemas of the Church in order to prevent children of Catholic parents from attending the public schools, and even then have barely succeeded. The obstacle to attendance in ninetynine cases out of a hundred, is not one of conscience on the part of the children, but of sectarian pride or preju dice on the part of parentB and priests. Let the children take their own course and most of them will seek the public schools in preference to those of the Church, by a sort of natural affinity. The presence of hundreds of Catholic children in these schools in spite of all efforts to prevent it illustrates this fact, and it is farther illustrated by the excessive zeal of the Catholic priesthood to remove, if possible, by destroying the sys tem the standing temptation it offers to the young to seek an education unwarned by sectarian bias. The gentleman to whom we are reply ing next represents that " almost all the children who cannot attend these (common) schools on account of religions con victions are the children of the laboring classes who can ill afford to pay a (school) tax at all, but to whom it is oppression in its worst form to pay tax to build and furnish cosily school buildings wherein the children of the rich are taught Latin, Greek, French, German and music grat- Now if there is any tax which the poor notoriously do not pay it it the school tax. If there is any tax which above any and all others is laid upon the rich for the benefit of the poor, it is that tax. If there Ib any system which above all others the rich are compelled to maintain, nolens nolens, for the advantage of the poor, it is the common school system. Yea, we will go farther and say that neither the Catholic Church or any other Church can devise or maintain a system of education, the burden of supporting which will bear more lightly upon the poor than this very system which our friend denounces. No education is offered to the poor from sectarian or any other sources which costs them less than that furnished by these people's colleges. The idea that the laboring classes are compelled to build costly school houses in which to educate rich men's children in fancy branches, is sheer humbuggery and nonsense. Kor are there any schools in which those branches are more extensively taught than the Catholic schools. It would surprise our friend, and per haps some others, could he know exactly how much, or rather how little, is really paid by the "laboring classes" for tbe support of the school system, The truth that the amount is insignificant, as any well informed person knows. Indeed the whole amount of State tax paid by the " laboring classes " for any and all purposes amounts to nothing. The bur den of supporting the State government, school system included, falls upon men who have real estate, who are " well on, and not upon the poor at all. Besides, does not our friend know that every year the wealthy counties of Ohio pay vastly more school tax than is necessary for the main' tenance of their own schools, and that this surplus is applied to the support of schools in the less opulent counties ? If be does not know this, then let him procure a copy, any one will do, of the Auditor of Slate's report, and inform himself. "If you grant us the privilege of using our own taxes," observes our friend, "you (advocates of the common schools) say all the little sects will claim the same, and the public schools will be broken up." Not exactly that. The question is not whether the Catholics shall "use their own taxes," but whether they shall bear their proportionate share of a tax for tbe common benefit. We say if they shall be exempted from a tax of that kind other sects will claim exemption, and justly claim it, for if the State may not rightfully for the not lay lay a burden upon general welfare it may it upon any. It it principle we are contending about, and not money. Once let go of the doctrine, as the Catholics demand wa shall, that all citiiens, of whatever sect, shall son. tribute their proportionate share toward the general enlightenment, and tbe common school system falls. Now shall the Catholics contribute their share for this purpose or not? That it the ques tion. It toundt plausible to say the Catholics shall "use their own teres," but the taxes are not their own, What owner ship have they In the levy for schools any more than they have in the levy for bridges, for court houses, for Infirmaries, or any other levy they may pay f "Our own taxes," indeed I Nonsense I The public money belongs to the public, and not to Catholics, Methodists or Presbyterians. As well demand that you shall use "your own taxes" to build your own highways, your own bridges, your own court houses, your own prisons, or your own infirmaries, as to support your own schools. It is the right and privilege of the State to use the taxes, and not of the churches. Our friend makes much ado about Catholics being taxed against their con sent. Has he never heard of Protestants who had to pay taxes they did not want to pay? If not, his auricular organs must be as bad as the old lady's described in Hood's Tale of a Trumpet. Somebody has said this is the only country in the world where poor people can assemble in town meeting and declare a tax upon the rich. It is one of the grand fea- tures of republican government that can be taxed against their people will, ation. though not without represent-Our friend calls this robbery and other hard names, but we have beard the like before. The man who wrote "skule tacks no" upon his ballot, thought it robbery. There are people who call it robbery to be compelled to pay anything at all for the support of government, schools, or anything else, but they generally live in the back townships. Our friend pathetically puts the care this way : "Suppose we ran the schools and forced you to support them against your will." Well, suppose you did, we guess we should have to stand it, and if you "ran the schools" as efficiently as we do, or more so, we ought to Btand it. Our friend abandons his subject to complain that "many of you" say the Catholics don't make good citiiens, and perhaps there are people of that kind, just as there are some who think the Pope wears horns, and that the moon is made of green cheese. There is ignorance and bigotry among all classes, but that has nothing to do with the subject we are considering. Another complaint of our friend, equally foreign to the argu ment, is, that some advocates of the common schools are intolerant of Catholic opinions or complaints. Some are, perhaps, but their very intolerance destroys the moral effect of their own convictions, and weakens rather than strengthens the cause of the schools, which must stand or fall by the strength ef the argument in their favor, and not by the bitterness of anybody's prejudices or the incorrigibieness of anybody's bigotry. We agree heartily with our friend as to the importance of moral training, but the home circle and the churoh will suffice for that. Nobody ever saw an infidel or a rogue, made such by his common school training. loan's l.adr Lawyer. The Dubuque Herald of the 21st says : Mrs. J. Elen Foster was admitted to the practice of law in the Supreme Court of Iowa yesterday the first honor of the kind accorded to a lady in the State. Mrs. Foster, we believe, acquired her legal education in the office of her husband, who is aUo a member of the Clinton (Iowa) bar, and both are partners in the firm of Foster & Bice, of that city. 1 lie lady's debut upon the legal stage was a creditable one, she appearing as counsel for the defendant in tbe care of Jacob Oswald r. Waller I, Hays. It was tbe opinion of the judges and attorneys in court yesterday that the Judge's case would be well taken care of. Certainly the gentle attorney presented her argu ment in a clear, concise and able manner, showing herself mistress of the situation in all its legal bearings, and making a very favorable impression in the court room. Sbe is quite prepossessing in ap pearance, both in feature, form, and dress, The lair lawyer wore a rich black: Bilk, without ornamentation or furbelows, overskirt or anything else on the demi train, which was gracefully caught up en panier, and thus the dreary plainness was relieved. A plain oiacksiik bat, enliven ed with some bright flowers, a velvet sacque. with a trimming of guipure lace, and a pink Bilk neck-tie completed the lady's costume. Her manner upon the platform was dignihed, easy, and ladylike, and so far as all we have mentioned, the effects were rattier pleasing, and the Dubuque bar is disposed to take quite kindly to lawyers ot the lemale persuv Bion. A Lolly Nlg-nnl. Fan Francisco Bulletin. The erection of a signal on the summit of Mount ehasta by the officers of the Coast Survey, has been successfully ac complished. Altitnde of the signal which is a hollow cylinder of galvanized iron, twelve feet high and two and a half feet in diameter, surrounded by a cone of nickel plated copper, with concave sides, three feet high and three feet in diameter at the base is, according to the observations taken by the members of the CoaBt Survey, 14,402 feet forty feet less than the altitude given by the State Geological Survey. The nickel-plating of the Bicnal is a brilliant reflector, and will, from 6 to 9 a. m., and from 8 to 7 p. m., reflect the sunlight in such a manner that tbe reflec tion can be seen from the valleys and the mountains from which the summit of the mountain is visible. It is believed that it can be used for observations at a distance of one hundred miles, and possibly further.

In reply Father McNamara told him neither Priest nor fope nor Bishop, nor even God himself. could make a man a traitor. He reprimanded McGeaghan for having betrayed tbe secrets of the organiiation, and cited him to appear before a tribunal of United Irishmen Kedivivi. McGeaghan paid no attention to the summons, but was found guilty. The Order of Bedivivi expects each Irish family in the United States to contribute twentyfive cents a month for its support.'

Episcopal Missionary Monrd. New York, Oct. 26. The Board of Mission, of the Protestant Episcopal Church continues its session to-day. Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, presiding. After morning prayer, at which BiBhoD Talbot, of Indiana, assisted, the report of million Williams, ot Japan, was read. The report states that although the statistics do not show any great increase in numbers, still the field is far mora en couraging than ever before. There is a growing interest in the subject of religion, and the minds of the reading portion of the community aro Ircquently turned to the subject by articles for and against Christianity in the daily newspapers. the report ot the Missionary Jiishop ol Northern California showed that there was great need of faithful missionaries in that region. A great drawback to satisfactory work is tbe nomadic character of the people. The General Agent and Secretary of the Board was granted a six months' leave of absence. Corner In Lard. New York, Oct. 26. A notable fea ture of trade on the lower floor of the Produce Exchange to-day was the corner in lard directed against October shorts, which was brought about in an attempt of the bears to cover to-day. The market for October contracts opened at 14 1-1 Go., and rapidly ran up to 14c, which, in the lard trade, is a very marked advance. Considerable sales were made. The fight between the opposite factions is, for the most part, confined to New York, and prices advanced to-day, while in Chicago they were depressed. To show how the shorts are being squeezed in this market, it may be stated that November contracts were offered on 'change to-day at 133c. or 1 Jc. under October, while only 13Jo. was bid. Again, sellers' options for the year were only a shade under 12c, though the seller wonld be very caretul not to deliver this money. Weather ProlmliiltMns. Washington, Oct. 271 a. m.

Great Conflagration at Tlr-, ginia Ciiv, Nevada. Most of the Business Fart of the Town in Asnos. Tea Thousand People Ilomelca. Hade Vart Destruction of Mining Machinery and Buildings. Paalo In the Sai Francises Market Stock Sah Francisco,' Oct. 26. Owing to the destruction of the telegraph office and a press of private dispatches over the lines, it hat been difficult to obtain any connected information concerning tbe Virginia fire. The following, however, is undoubtedly correct at far at it goes: The fire broke out about davliihtina uweuingon a street near layiur, a point about tbe southwest limit of the business andxbe thickly settled portion of the city. It spread rapidly, extending eastward toward a ravine in which are situ ated the works and mills of several prominent mines, reaching aa far aa F street north. The flames crossed Union and Sutton streets, covering a space of ten blocks, comprising, in the words of one dispatch, almost every decent building in town. At the lire worked up C street, the office of the Territorial Enterprise and Chronicle was destroyed. Piper's Opera House was next in flames, and it became evident that the railroad depot and hoisting works of the Consoli dated Virgiuia were in danger. Ibe water supply was inadequate, and the engines of little use. Recourse was had to blowing up houses. It wat too late, however, and in a few minutes the depot and hnistiug works were on fire. 1 lie latter were recently completed atan expense of several hundred thousand dollars, and were the finest on the Corn-stock lode. Continuing north and east tho part ly completed mill of the California mine and Consolidated Virginia were toon fUmea, which Bpread still further north to the Ophir Hoisting works, destroying them also, which is about tbe limit of destruction in that direction. The fire died for want of fuel. From Taylor Blreet, near which the fire began, it spread south against the wind, destroying the Branch Bank of California and the Wells & Fargo express oflice.and eve rything else in its line. At this point the Gould & Curry works were in imminent danger, but were saved. 1 n short nearly the entire business portion of the town is in ashes. Hotels, churches, county build-ings, and newspaper, telegraph and ex press offices are all swept away, the wind is piercing and much suffering is anticipated before Bheltercan be prepared, It is impossible at present to conjecture the amouut of loss. The destruction of mills and hoisting works above referred to will probably entail a lossof $1,000,000 within a radius of a few hundred feet. Fortunately the shafts of both the Ophir and Consolidated Virginia were bulk-headed, and the fire was kept out of the mines. Ophir men Bay possibly their loss may be less than supposed, as tbe building was a light frame and might burn without destroying the machinery. The loss of buildings and merchandise in the city must be great, although covered to a great extent by insurance. It is not known lowhatexlent the mills and hoisting works were insured, except in the Ophir, where the Iobs is placed at $150,-000 to $200,000; insured for $60,00. In this city the news created the great est excitement, owing to tbe contradictory nature of private dispatches received. California street was full of wild rumors, and tbe telegraph and newspaper omces were besieged with people anxiously Becking intelligence. As might have been ex pected, stockB at once fell as the eflect of. ttie disaster, and when the Board opened by a call of Ophir, there was a tremendous rush, tiie stock selling as low as 38i. Consolidated Virginia dropped to 210, but rallied. The talk on the street is very gloomy. At first it was supposed tbe disaster would entail the necessary stoppage of all work in the Bonanza nneH, and that the recently reported breaking of water would flood the mines and a general panic and depression ensue. This, however, soon gave way to a better feeling as soon as it was ascertained that the Gould & Curry works were all right, as were the Savage. This was considered the key to the position us far as the Block market was concerned, as the Bonanza can and will be worked through the Gould & Curry shaft, while the works of the Virginia are being rebuilt, and the Savage and boulu 61 Curry pumps are available to free the mines from water. It also transpired that the new hoisting works ot the Consolidated Virginia and California mine, known as the C. & C. works, were unharmed. Inquiry also brought out the fact that the insurance compauies, though many of them sutler heavily, will come up man fully, paying all demands. A large portion of -the insurance is with foreign companies well able to bear it, and local companies also claim that none will go to the wall. It was given out by those known to be in Bide that the Consolidated Virginia would pay a dividend as usual, though probably at reduced figures. Ail these considerations soon hau the effect to turn the tide, and now the general impression is that while the conflagration is unquestionably a serious disaster, its effects on the interests of California will be but limited and temporary. tin the street, alter the ore, stocks rallied and the feeling in business circles im proved.

Signor Bertolotto, a venerable Italian, upward ol sixty, in connection with the flea, has established a European reputation. Yesterday he had his meuagerie at 39 Union Square, nnd invited a select audience to witness his performance. which to-day is thrown open to the public. The exhibiter is a genial old man, with a voice modified by long intercourse with his minute friends; his hand, though large, possesses an exquisite delicacy of louch, ana be bends over and fondles his singular pets as though be felt a real af fection fur them. In 1832 he began tho training ol Item in hitigland. and amass ing a considerable fortune, retired from professional life. Recently times have gone hard with turn, and again bo summons tbe fleas to his rescue. The Pro- fesaor'e present troupe consists of 100 female fleas, (male fleas are dis carded as utterly inlraclable,) which were brought from Canada, the Professor making the delightful announcement that fleas are extremely scarce in the United slates. I he performance yester day opened with a passage-at-arms be tween Don uuixote and sancho ranza, two bloodthirsty fleas, that mounted on tiny paper horses attacked each other with spears. The tiny paper horses being stationary, no great damage was dje to either of the contestants, but the tieas really appeared actuated by deadly hatred and whirled the little spears about in a furious manner. Next an illustration of the immense strength of the creatures was given in tho performance of a herculean uen, who, being narnesso'l In a little gilt chnriot, weighing just 1200 times his own weight, drew the same about the table. The little creature shambled around with the chariot, and one of its fellows Bat on the box, as dignified a driver as ever cracked a whip, A wild nea was next produced, one that had never received any educational advantages. Its habit was still that of the creature who lives only to hop and bite, and a chain and ball attached lo the hind leg told of its unfitness to associate unrestrained with its civilized brothers. The chain and ball were of gold, the former being just one inch in length and containing four hundred links. On the same microscopic plan alt the paraphernalia used was constructed, little hats and coats fitting with remarkable nicely. Other of these remarkable insects were made to turn cranks and hoist buckets, but the che cVauvre of the entertainment was some two dozen fleas at a ball. At one end of the ball room was a complete orchestra, each flea holding its peculiar GOOD BARGAINS IN FURNITURE Til AO Hi 2 Ami- T.u,ir .....-Z, W TnaKch1..'1 wm iuRi?E SrT0CK instrument in readiness for the dance. On the floor two couples were teen, and on a tiny sofa another was engaged, at least to said lbs Professor, in a very desperate flirtation. A music box was then set in motion, snd at the first sound the little insects began their respective vocations, those on the floor whirling about in ths dance and those in the orchestra working their legs, to which were attached the instruments, in a most enthusiastic manner. When the size of ths flea is remembered the task of handling tbem at all will be appreciated. Fortunately they are as tough at porcupines, and can be unceremoniously picked up with little tteel pincers without danger of hurting them. The average lifetime of a flea is about eight months, snd aa four month. are required in subduing their spirits and altering their gait from a hop to a trot it will be seen that the process of training is sn endless one. Of the 800 fleas in this collection about half are performers and have to be taken from their harness in threads once a day lo be fed. Their fodder is nothing less than the blood of the professor, who permits the whole flock to browse on his left arm every morning. The Excess of Women In Massachusetts.The fact that there are more women than men in the State of Massachusetts is well enough known, but, in the opinion of the Boston Daily Advertiser, the usual explanations of the disparity are not the true ones. J t says that the excess of wo men is not to oe accounted for either by the emigration of men from the Stale or by the alleged fact tbat Massachusetts furnishes an exception to the general rule in tbe matter of male and female births. The rule is tbat there are more men children than women children born into the world, and it has been supposed that in Massachusetts this rule is reversed by some occult law or undiscovered circum stance. This, the Advertiser believes, is mistake, and it sees in the eiiwaa of women a result of the large amount of manufacturing done in the State. The emigration of men to the Middle and Western states has its influence upon the ratio of males to fe males, but this one cause of disparity is nut Buuicieni to account lor me actual state of the case. The Advertiser finds a more active influence in the amount of light work for women which the factories constantly afford, and says that the excess of women is due chiefly to tbe incoming of working girls from other Stales, and particularly from Maine and Vermont. This view is strengthened by the fact that Maine, which has Buffered far more se verely than has Massachusetts from the emigration of its men, has only 709 more women than men ; while in Vermont the males outnumber the females by 8S9. Tbe theory is further BUBtained by a comparison of the statistics of factory towns with those of fartningcommunities a compar ison winch shows that the disparity between the numbers of the two sexes is considerably grcoter in the cities and towns devoted chiefly to mnnufsctur- ing industries than anywhere else, and no tably in Lowell, which has 549 females lo every 441 males. IJ nluckuy for the new theory, however. the census Bhows an excess of women, not only in the State at large, but also in every county, which, in view of the fact that the excess In manufacturing towns must be largely made up of native women, drawn from the State's own farming communities, seems to show that the State does, after all, constitute an exception to ttie general rule. 1 lie larming communities lose men to the West, but they loBe women also to the manufacturing towns. and yet there remains in every county a numerical excess ot women. Larue Cattle Kanrhe. Captain E. S. Lenfestev. of Marion. In- uiana, is traveling lor the benefit of bis health in Colorado and New Mexico. In one of his letters to the Chronicle, of Marion, he gives some facts in regard to cat-lie raising and ita attendant incidents in rsew Mexico, as follows: To the southeast of Santa Fe. near Fort Stanton, ia the famous Chisholm cattle ranche, containing about sixteen hundred sections of land, on which Mr. ChiBholm has at this time eighty thousand head of cattle, lie claims that he can nil order for lorty thousand beeves, sent him dv telegraph irom JNew lork, on ten days' notice. Be that as it may, he is the uw a.ing ol Mexico, to use a provin cial phrase. He em ploys in all about one hundred "cow boys" and "cow punchers" and, in other words, he employs mounted men to picket his ranche dav and night, winter and summer, to Bee mac the cattle do not stray oil the pasture selected by him for his own use. And, like a sentinel wulking his beat, the cattle guards ride up and down tbe lines, and are relieved with due regularity. In the fall, about this time, they have the "cattle drives," which means taking these vast herds from the distant ranches to market. They find a shipping point now at Wichita, or Great Bend, in Kansas, or at Granada or Las Animas, in Colorado. And whenever it is known at which point tho important "drives" will strike, there is where the vultures are found. The cattle men are rough, generous, and often intemperate, and the gamblers and prostitutes of tbe entire land look forward to fall trade with great anticipations. Very often the officers of the law are set at defiance, tbe cattle men and licentious women run the town, and the entire proceeds of ten thousand beeves squandered in a single night. How to Make Coiree. Cnftee should be browned at least twice a week, and kept in air-tight canisters, and only ground just immediately before using. Pick the green coffee carefully over; shake it in a colander to free it from dust, and rub it in a cloth. While roasting stir it constantly; the moment the berry crackles and becomes crisp enough to pulverize, it is sufficiently roasted. Stir in a small piece of butter the size of a walnut, and put the coffee steaming hot into an air-tight canister. For making, put your ground coffee into a bowl with just sufficient cold water to moisten il; beat in an egg, shell and all; mix it well through the coffee. Rinse your coffee boiler out with boiling water; put in (be coffee, and pour over, it the required amount of boiling water. Let it boil fifteen minutes. When it bruins to boil stir it frequently and never leave it until the grounds sink. Tour a little Irom the spout, in order to remove the grounds that may have boiled into it. and pour it back into the pot. It is very much better if served without decanting it. Allow one tableepoonful of ground conee for each person snd one for the pot, and add three pints ol boning water to Beven spoon' fule of coffee. I'nshniere Shawls.
